The Appalachian Trail: App. State NCAA 13 Dynasty

Appalachian State Outclassed

Washington Disposes of App. State 58-21

It isn't exactly surprising, but this loss vs. Washington was not exactly a morale booster for the new to the FBS Appalachian State Mountaineers. App State plays hard, but Washington State scored early and often. The Mountaineers could not get anything going until it was too late. They were down 21-0 in the second, and Washington never looked back en route to a huge victory. App State did score 3 TDs, and did have a good day passing, but multiple interceptions ruined this game for them. They had a Pick 6 in the late game which ruined their chance at a comeback. They also botched 2 onside kicks and gave Washington good field position to start their drives.

Coach Jerry Moore sat down with us to talk about the game Here's the interview:

Quote:

App State Update: Hey Coach, how's it going? That was a tough loss vs. Washington. What can you say about the game? Coach Moore: Well, I can say that we had trouble executing. It's embarrassing that we allowed so many points. We have to rebound against Michigan, and upset them again to regain momentum. App State Update: Who was the player of the game? Coach Moore: I would say that Jamal Jackson did very well. He made some mistakes but he produced a lot too. App State Update: Thank you for your time coach. Coach Moore: Thank you.

Game Preview

For ASU to win- They will have to play smart and not get caught up in the atmosphere of the Big House. This is the greatest stadium in all of college sports. more than 108,000 crowd in here every week to watch Michigan. App. State is 1-0 vs. Michigan. To become 2-0 vs. Michigan, not being as aggressive in playcalling and just running it down Michigan's throats is the best option.

For Michigan to win- They will have to put aside what happened last time. They have a two year series vs. App. State. They have a very good chance to win both years and improve their record to 2-1 vs. App. State. If they just come out easy and don't make mistakes, they will be all right. Although their National Championship hopes are already pretty much over, they could still have a spot as an at-large potentially, even if they don't win the Big 10. A loss vs. App State would ruin any chance of that happening.

Our prediction- Michigan will come out with a vengeance and destroy App. State 42-21. Maybe App . State will keep it a little closer. But they likely will have a lot of trouble keeping up with Denard Robinson and the rest of Michigan's fast offense, even if they do have a little speed of their own.

COACH MOORE'S THOUGHTS ON THE GAME- We can win this game. We won here before. I talked to Jamal over the weekend. He said that he is focusing all his attention on this game. This is likely our biggest game. If we don't win this game, we will have no national attention for the rest of the year, at least not as a a headline. We have to come out, ignore the raucous Michigan crowd, and WIN. THIS. GAME. I'll see you guys after the game.

Guys, I switched to Authentic's All-American sliders after the Michigan game. So, it will get a little more realistic.
